Live Letter XVI Discussion Thread

Q5: Will you ever add elite marks that are higher than rank S?

A5: We’re thinking about adding elite marks moving forward, but if they exceed rank S that means they will become something like the level of Odin or a Behemoth class monster. We’re also working on things for the expansion, so we’d like to explore a variety of things.

Looks like we in Hunt territory now.

EDIT: Aaaaand right back to Frontlines :P

I am grateful for the thread with updated questions, but I still think it's a giant middle finger to non Japanese speaking paying customers. You don't have to agree, but I am quite obviously not alone in this feeling. It's not like they are a tiny company without the resources to manage equal community connection.

Seems kind of funny this talk about favoring the Japanese playerbase here, then one of the questions was about expanding frontlines, and the response was the Japanese players are playing it the most so they are working on expanding it.

Hey, if it's being used, it's being used.

Q10: Please make it so equipment drops more than crafting materials in instanced dungeons.

A10: Since the demand for glamours is ever-increasing, I’ll be talking to the lead for this and be making adjustments.

PRAISE HYDAELYN.

Q13: Is it possible to lower the cost of the equipment that we can purchase with Allied Seals?

A13: Instead of lowering the cost, we are currently looking into increasing the awards for completing the daily mark bills.

EDIT: Further; while I weep that they aren't necessarily changing the price, Daily rewards won't suck. So...

Q18: Currently, the elite marks die instantly even after the recent adjustment. Are there any plans to make further adjustments?

A18: We are currently looking into ways of addressing this issue without simply increasing the HP of the marks.

Then this happened. Not sure what they can try but hey, good for them.

And if it wasn't obvious, yes I am focusing primarily on Hunts when responding to this post, because I can and I expected far more Hunt related questions to be asked.

Have the mob run away at high speed if too many people engage it?

That would be hilarious lol

Is there a mechanic for a monster getting stronger the more people are there? I don't mean more HP but lets say if a million people target it and attack, all of a sudden its autoattack cleaves and it murders half the people there. Something OP like that?

No, they should call for re-enforcement if there is too many people are there attacking it. Like a bunch of S-Rank spawn if too many attacking A Ranks.
